Okay. Gimme a minute. I'll reread.

What I was asking is, do you agree that the number of victims and the frequency of the attacks should be a factor in determining what ideology is the most dangerous one in regards to terrorism.

And I was suggesting that, if you take the number of victims and frequency of the attacks into consideration, it becomes more than obvious that we have a major problem with Islam and not with the Christianity.
And that is not to say that Christianity or Christian terror are not the problem, just that we have a much bigger one with Islam as an Ideology right now.

Yes. But I don't have the expertise to perform a proper statistical treatment.

Actually, we have here in America a Presidential candidate making a lot of hay from that sunshine. He espouses barring all Muslim refugees in the name of national security, and he is getting quite a bit of support for it. He trades in xenophobia, and Muslims are a yuuuuuuge target of his xenophobia.

So clearly, the message that "not all Muslims are terrorists" needs more repating and deeper understanding.

Ok, fair enough.

Fair point, it depends. When I said "we" I mostly meant western countries as in "civilized", but now I realize you probably don't consider me as a part of a civilized world, so my voice on the matter must be quite redundant from your perspective.
